eBookwise: IMP vs. RB files

So, I finally ordered my eBookwise this weekend. I was going through the Fictionwise store afterwards, and it asked for my preferred default format. Well, everything I had read said I wanted IMP, so I felt pretty confident as I pulled down the menu, only to find there were two IMPs to choose from: half-VGA and full-.

I did not know at the time that some of the old Rockets were full VGA, so I wrote in to ask which I wanted and what the difference was since I did not think they were pre-paginated -- I figured the difference was just the embedded images. Since doing the research on the other Rocket models, I am convinced that the images are the only difference.

Now, however, I have received my email reply from Fictionwise, and they tell me, for the eBookwise I should download the RB file...? I knew the eBw could handle RB files, but I thought IMPs were better, then I realized I don't really know what the difference is. Can anyone tell me? Is there an advantage to IMP over RB? I do know that IMP files need to be expanded after they are downloaded, does the same apply to RB?

Any info would be appreciated! Also, any advice for a new eBw owner in general.
